After having breakfast one after another, the guests who came to attend the flower viewing banquet left Leting Garden one after another.
Originally, after the guests left, the flower gardener should have come and put away all the chrysanthemums in the yard.
However, because Mr. Jiang's decoration this time was so elaborate, several families came to inquire about renting the garden to entertain guests or to bring their families here for a visit.
Although we don't make much money, we still have to keep people here to continue maintaining the garden.
But in order to maintain a good relationship, Mr. Jiang would not refuse even if he had to pay for it himself.
However, that afternoon, he took the Ye family and the kitchen helpers back to Fengle County.
After returning to the Jiang family and having dinner, Mr. Jiang prepared to settle the wages for Mrs. Ye.
According to what was originally agreed upon, Mrs. Ye would be given five hundred coins every day for the six days of preliminary preparation, and ten taels of silver for the two days of cooking in Leting, which would make a total of thirteen taels.
Mrs. Ye San earned one hundred coins a day, and the two days of cooking cost her two taels of silver, so the total was two taels and six coins of silver.
Originally, Mr. Jiang thought he had been lenient with Mrs. Ye, but now he feels a little ashamed.
This meal not only earned Mrs. Ye praise from everyone and made her famous, but most importantly, it helped her establish connections with Prince Rui's Mansion and the Qin Mansion.
Mr. Jiang thought about it and finally prepared twenty taels of silver for Mrs. Ye Da and five taels for Mrs. Ye San.
"Sister-in-law Ye, this is the wages for you and your third sister-in-law Ye, please keep it.
"I heard that your family has relatives in the city? You can go out and do some shopping, visit relatives, etc. These few days, there's no need to rush back."
Seeing the silver on the table, Mrs. Ye hurriedly said, "Mr. Jiang, you gave too much. Didn't we agree on this before..."
"I've already said that if you do a good job, there will be a reward?" Jiang Yuanwai said, "Well, I just rounded it up for you, so please be polite.
"You should know that the benefits you brought me this time are much greater than this."
After hearing what Mr. Jiang said, Mrs. Ye thanked him and accepted the money.
Mr. Jiang made another suggestion, saying, "The Dongsheng Bank in the city has a good reputation, and the owner behind it is the Qin family.
"If Madam You needs to exchange for silver notes, you might consider it."
This information is exactly what Mrs. Ye needs at this moment.
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang."
After returning to the residence, Sister Ye Da went to Sister Ye San's room first.
Seeing her take out a silver ingot from her bosom and put it on the table, Sister Ye San opened her eyes wide and asked: "Sister-in-law, what do you mean? I have already received a lot, please don't give me any more money!"
"This is not what I gave you, it is the wages that Mr. Jiang gave you.
"Originally it should have been two taels and six qian of silver, but because the flower viewing banquet was so well organized, the rest was a reward from Mr. Jiang."
Mrs. Ye San didn't expect that she had earned nearly thirty taels of silver in just ten days. She couldn't help but breathe heavily.
"Sister-in-law, I know I'm clumsy and can't really help you at all, but you're still willing to take me with you..."
As Mrs. Ye San spoke, her voice choked with sobs.
"We're all family, what are you doing?" Mrs. Ye patted her shoulder and said, "Mr. Jiang said we don't have to leave in a hurry, we can stay a few more days, you can go visit the third brother or something.
"You two can also go out for a walk and see if there's anything you need at home, and then buy some and we can take it back.
"As for the remaining money, I suggest you only keep some loose change. It's better to exchange the rest for silver notes at a bank."
After saying this, Mrs. Ye also recommended the Dongsheng Money House recommended by Mr. Jiang to Mrs. Ye San.
"Of course, I'm just making a suggestion. You and your wife should discuss how to proceed."
"Sister-in-law, that's what I was planning too. I'll go find the third brother later, and then we can do it together."
Mrs. Ye was originally worried that Mrs. Ye San would ask her how much she had been paid, but she didn't expect that she didn't even mention it.
Then she talked about another matter and said, "I have something else I want to discuss with you.
"Princess Rui and Madam Qin both said they wanted me to prepare a banquet. After setting a date, they will contact Mr. Jiang."
After hearing this, Mrs. Ye's eyes widened.
A few days ago she was still rejoicing over the banquet orders from the countryside.
It's only been a few days, and we have to go to the prince's palace for a banquet?
Isn’t this span a bit too big?
"So I thought, it's definitely too much for the two of us to handle it. I want to get Yumei and Yueying to join us. What do you think?"
Mrs. Ye nodded repeatedly upon hearing this and said, "Of course, this couldn't be better. Yumei knows a lot, and Yueying is good with a knife. I've learned a lot from them these past few days.
"Although I want to work hard now, this is not something that can be mastered in a day or two.
"If you go to places like the Prince's Mansion or the Qin Mansion, there's really little I can do to help you.
"If we can get them both to join us, that would be great."
Seeing that Third Sister Ye sincerely agreed, Big Sister Ye breathed a sigh of relief, but then there was another problem.
"But how do I join this gang?" Mrs. Ye was troubled by this issue all the way back.
She can cook, but she is really not good at these things.
“If we go into partnership directly, we’ve already taken on so many banquets in the countryside. The money is low and the work is heavy. If we bring them along, we won’t know how to divide the one or two taels of silver.
"Or maybe we can only go to the capital to prepare a banquet and then invite them along?"
This step was so big that Mrs. Ye still feels like she is floating and unable to touch the ground.
